Modern Day Slice of Life, only... not?

[Narias]

First time doing this, but I figured why not?

Here's the premise:

You all will make a character. The character should be modern day, no powers or magic or anything. Just a profession, or trade, or really, anything you'd be able to see in our life right now. Hell, you can play a rich person if you want.

The catch is, you won't know the scenario until we start. I could toss us into a sudden fantasy plot, or everyone gains superhero powers, or it turns into horror. We won't know. Just know that your characters will start near each other, so be ready for that when you post.

Basic requirements for your character proposal:

Name:
Age:
Sex:
Skills/Profession/Trade (Back these up in your bio):
Short bio (not too revealing):

The only rule is to make your character believable and hopefully not OP. Else your character will be my favorite...

Interested people apply! I'm looking forward to this being my daily relaxation after a long hard day at my new job, so hopefully this plays fast enough to be daily. I'm aiming for 4 people who can post at least daily.

*chuckles*

i've actually considered doing this same exact thing. but i dont know many people who like mystery or character development anymore. ill join.

Name: Willis (Will) Chambers
Age: 27
Sex: Male
Skills/Profession/Trade (Back these up in your bio): Will is a hard worker because he wants to prove that he is not a spoiled brat. He takes the initiative, but is in no way leadership material. Will is also very observant of his surroundings and of people, a skill he developed in the military after his father was killed in a robbery. Working at a hardware store, Will has become adept at inventory, retail, dealing with customers/managers, and driving bigger trucks used to haul tools.
Short bio (not too revealing): Will lived a privileged life until he turned 16, when he was arrested for shoplifting on a dare. At 17, he joined a Wiccan cult, looking for somewhere to fit in, but left just a few months later because they were into some weird shit. When he finally moved out of his parents mansion at 22, he joined the US Air Force. Three weeks later, his father, a bank manager, was killed in a robbery. He returned to town for the funeral, and his younger sister informed him that his mother had been cheating on their father. Angry, Will confronted her after the funeral. Four years later, Will was honorably discharged from the military and moved to another state, not wanting anything to do with his mother. He has worked at a hardware store for nearly one year. His father left him none of his wealth in his will. His sister visits every couple of months.

This seems really interesting!

Name: Jeanne Young
Age: 19
Sex: Female
Skills/Profession/Trade (Back these up in your bio): Jeanne is a college student studying Forensic science, hoping to become a chemist investigating crime scenes. Her skills include interpreting information, chemistry, and taking charge as a leader. Although not physically advanced, she is good at solving problems.
Short bio (not too revealing): Jeanne was always interested in shows like CSI or Forensic files, so it was no surpirse when the Valedictorian began studying Forensics in college. She is super-smart but it often seen as too serious and would rather spend time in a lab rather than out partying with the rest of her friends. So while she excels in her academics and in being a leader, she is laggning behind in her social skills.

[Narias]

Yay! You're in. I'm hoping for 2 more, but if we get another one, we maaaybe can start.

tag me when/if this continues please :)

[RoccanIronclad]

Name: Lawson Davies
Age: 25
Sex: Male
Skills/Profession/Trade: Lawson works as a general handyman, he repairs any of the broke pipes, and air conditioning units that you find in the apartment building that he lives nearby, but his calloused hands betray his passion for blacksmithing, a passion that he gets a small supplementary income from selling pieces and doing demonstrations at the local arts and history centers.
Short bio: Lawson lived in a small town with just a normal small town vibe. Lawson went to the local high school, but had few aspirations for college so he went right into the workforce. When Lawson was working on the piping in one of the rooms, he needed to repair a bracket that had broken, He chose to use a torch and hammer to repair the shape rather than tried to find a new piece, and he found that it was fun and so began a hobbyists journey to become a smith.

I'm game for whatever.

It looks potentially interesting and a write up easy enough

[Dolerman]

Name: Lyle Haden
Age: 22
Sex: Male
Skills/Profession/Trade (Back these up in your bio): Delivery Courier
Short bio (not too revealing): Lyle never had much direction in life, always looking for short term thrills for entertainment. Although essentially a good kid, he always had a bit of a wild side. Which is why although he works as a delivery boy, he still has as much fun as possible taking his motorbike for trick rides when he can!
Lyle's sense of adventure is sometimes his weakness though, as it clouds his better judgement.

hey idk if you are still thinking of doing this RP but tag me if you do!

[Benzaiten]

You can tag me as well if this is going to be continued. If so, I'll think about joining. @Narias

[RumikoOhara]

Almost wishful for trying to restart

[Benzaiten]

@RumikoOhara Me too, so I can drop my interest ;) But the GM hasn't been here for a month

[RumikoOhara]

@KahleenCuthald

The GM hasn't shown in a month

[Benzaiten]

@RumikoOhara I have noticed. This seemed interesting though. What a bummer.

[RumikoOhara]

@KahleenCuthald

As I suggested we could try a reset, it is after all an easy plotline.

We could even take a vote of the first four to five players on whether the medieval world is magic and fantasy or like our was or even a little of both.

[Benzaiten]

@RumikoOhara If you are up for opening and running a GM like this, I will participate. But I do not wanna be involved in the GMing of this. You can ask the others if they're interested in a restart.

[Soph123]

@KahleenCuthald@RumikoOhara Yes I'm interested in a restart! but I also don't want to GM...
